    Two big things I want to have answered about this.
    Where is the confirmation that this field orientation is south to north? Additionally, the Gronk video that was referenced at 11:27 is in selfie mode. The video is flipped. Just look at the logo on his jersey and the writing in the endzone. So the wind would be going the same direction as in the actual commercial and in the other videos.

    • @CrossingTalkAdmin
      @CrossingTalkAdmin Před rokem +15

      I was wondering this, too. This video assumes that the goal post is on the north side of the field and Gronk is kicking from the south side for some reason. The wind speed does match up pretty well with what is being shown in the commercial, whereas the east wind the day prior would not have been that intense.

      The video shows the wind in its proper orientation during comments about the wind, which would mean the field orientation was as indicated. However, the wind direction was opposite to that during the kick, which is where the discrepancy shows up. The real truth will come out soon enough.

    I might've missed it, but was the orientation of the field mentioned/determined? Because "east" doesn't always necessarily mean "right". Lol. That would only be the case if the field was oriented with the field goal post at the north end of the field. If it were reversed and the field goal post were at the south end of the field, a west wind would blow from right to left.

      Well... I was trying to do that myself using shadows and the sun's path. I am probably better off using google maps and looking for that facility myself... but that's extremely time consuming.
      From what I can tell between the two pictures provided... the field is pointing in a southerly direction. Anywhere from SE to SW... I think it's South Southwest, assuming the picture with the sun is an afternoon sun. If that's true, then the wind direction _is_ going in the correct direction.

      I'm not that _invested_ in proving this kick was a scam. The adverts I saw for the _kick_ were definitely misleading. I expected the kick to happen _at_ the Superb Owl itself... and it didn't happen.
      The other thing is... couldn't Fan Duel get permission to use a _known_ field, say one from a varsity instead of a set in the middle of a desert? Fan Duel _should_ have the money to rent a field for a couple of hours so that the fans _can_ check the veracity of the kick for themselves.
      This was entirely dodgy. This doesn't mean they _lied_ it just means it's extremely hard to prove that they were telling the truth.
      That said, I didn't watch the entirety of Jaguar's video... I stopped at the "wind if it comes from the East should be moving from the right"... that was enough to show that the video maker didn't care about accuracy. As you said "click bait".
      What's required is using google maps to _find_ the exact location of the mini-field that the kick happened at (preferably an image from the time of the Superb Owl itself). That's the only way to be _sure_ of the correct orientation of the field.. then check the weather reports of the closest weather station... it's a lot of work to verify that the video maker was wrong, on one of his claims, and the primary claim that supports his assertion that the kick wasn't live.
      However, _if_ people made bets on the results of the kick... then _they_ might have standing to _sue_ Fan Duel for False Advertising which lead to Fraudulent betting pools. So it is important for _them_ to know for sure... I'm just not that person to do that for them.

    While I doubt the commercial and didn't care for it, you do have a MAJOR flaw. You're assuming Gronk is facing North.

    The “left to right” or “right to left” argument is worthless if we don’t know if the camera was facing north or south. You just assume it’s north cause “north=up”?
    Also some valleys are wind tunnels. A weather station located a couple miles away could be fairly accurate but depending on wind direction it’s not reflective of the conditions in that spot.
    Further, the short video from Gronk before the kick is clearly flipped. Look at the logos in the end zone.

    Not to be a hater but this whole video is done on really shaky rationale. You were convinced it was fake and set out to prove that instead of looking at the evidence impartially.
    Not all football fields are in a direct north-south alignment, you don’t know which direction is north here. Just because it looks right to left doesn’t mean it’s east to west lmao. Your whole argument ends there. The other comments about the mirroring are also easily disputing this
    I like the channel, I like obscure NFL tidbits, but your videos are dragged out way too long, with super repetitive intros and analogies that could be cut to make the videos like 10 minutes or less which would help viewership. Keep at it but this is a new low

    I’m not sure I agree with your detective work (as much as I would like to). A couple questions: 1. Where is it shown the direction in which the field was set up? Without that, how do you know the wind direction based on the flags only? 2. How far away is the weather observation site from the filming location? There are many mesoscale (and microscale) factors in that terrain/land that affects the weather. That fact alone makes it difficult to assume what’s happening at a “nearby” weather station is the same weather at the kick location.

    I appreciate the time and research you put into this, but as others have pointed out, there are some flaws in the logic regarding wind direction. You can’t confirm which direction he was kicking, therefore can’t confirm which direction the wind was blowing. The selfie video was mirrored and therefore showed the same wind direction as during the kick. I’m also skeptical about this being live, but I don’t think the evidence shown here proves anything either way.

As for the kick, I thought for sure that it went right down the middle when I saw it live. After rewinding it on the TV I saw that it missed. I was shocked to see how much the wind caught that ball. Gronk put a lot of power behind it yet it made no difference that he started the kick toward the right. Awesome video!

    The main problem with your statement that the wind isn't right is that we don't know the direction the field was orientated. The field could have been orientated so that the wind is going "opposite" what you're figuring. That's how it would be in a regulation 100 yard field - facing one end zone the flags would be pointed left, but facing the other end zone they'd be pointing right. But both would still be pointed to the same cardinal direction.

    So question, and this isn't a meteorology channel, but my first thought is okay, where is it in the mountains since I know from other meteorology folks that the mountains afect how the wind is around terrain and structures, but not quite how you'd think.
    10mph in an NFL stadium not in the mountains is diferent from 6-7mph in the mountains. I'd like to see a collage of all the weather stations around where the set was, the terrain and height and see how the wind was afected by said terrain.
    Not that I'm saying it was fake, just pointing out things I've noticed though. The sound on Gronk's vid sounds to me like the wind was a lot stronger than 6-7 mph, or, alternatively, his mic is....not the best.

    • @Bruce12867
      @Bruce12867 Před rokem

      Here's my theory (take it for what it's worth): It all comes down to which direction the shadows are pointing. In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun shines from the South, which means shadows would point North. Based on the two photos in this video, it looks as if the sun is shining on the back of the goalposts, and it appears (at least to me) the shadows were pointing towards the persons who took those respective photos, so I believe Gronk would have attempted his field goal towards the South, which, if that were the case, the winds would have been coming form the West based on the direction the flags were blowing on the goalposts.

    Hate to say it and it's possible someone else has already pointed this out but one of your big pieces of visual evidence is wrong.
    But before I get into that (sorry, couldn't resist), a little background on why I've never commented until now, even though I watch a great deal of your content. I've watched most of your content via the CZcams app on my TV, which only recently started letting us read comments for the videos but no way to leave one. As such, I've never had a chance to comment on any of your videos. With that out of the way (again, couldn't resist), here's why I felt that I needed to grab the laptop and comment.
    You've misinterpreted a major piece of your wind evidence, specifically the video post from Gronk before the kick. It looks like he's using the selfie camera on his phone to shoot the video. A common issue with the front facing cameras is that the image will get reversed. You can tell this is happening here by looking at Gronk's jersey. The FanDuel logo on his chest is reversed, meaning that the flags on the post are actually consistent with the flags in the "live" video.
    Not saying you're wrong about the whole thing but I wanted to point that out.

    I have a feeling they would have filmed two versions the miss before hand and a planned filmed possible make by Gronk. The reason was depending on how the bets went the house(fanduel) would win in the long run. They probably had way more people betting on him to hit based on who was coaching him, Adam Vinitari who is one of the best kickers in NFL history. Because if the house lost the wager, they would have lost way more than the 10 million.

    1. I was not streaming the game. For that matter I suspect most sports bars weren’t streaming it either.
    2. I’ve seen multiple Super Bowl commercials that start with the announcers then swerve into the actual advertisement.
    3. I’ve never seen a broadcast go straight into the booth out of commercial. Usually there’s a shot of the field, from the blimp, or of the city between the end of the commercial break and the shot of the booth.
    Also, as my memory serves me, all that happened after the “switch” from the game was a shot of the Tubi logo. So the only “creative” part of the commercial is giving people heart attacks. So thumbs down on the commercial from me.
